maybe i shouldnt have asked if i was ready to reject your answer..
but if u order from the us, you end up paying the difference of the exchange rate + the conversion fee + duties at the border + shipping to canada.
it ends up costing far more to order from the us, so im looking canadian based prices as retail.
so really wats the depreciation on average for a used graphics card, say one year old, retail box, all peripherals/manuals included. like 30%?
and its only oc'd 10% after 3d detection from ati tool. which I game an average of 1 hour per day. My computer goes on standby after 20 mins. so its standing by for 20 hours of the day atleast. so it should be in excellent condition after a year or so. the idle/load temps are decent
